"I won't stand with racists and white supremacists, not now, not in the past, not ever."

That's because racists and white supremacists are a bunch of pussies to CJ. For a long time CJ stood with exterminationists and advocates of mass murder of the innocent.

I posted a comment exposing a small fraction of the genocidal comments at LGF at Defenceman's blog, an LGF-apologist website. Of course the comment was deleted and I was banned from the site, but I pasted it over at LGF2.

If you guys could point me to any similar comments at LGF I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Well, you could always try using the search function (the tag system does not cover all of our archive, unfortunately).

More to the point, prior to 2007 LGF was fairly simpatico with the insane Spencer/Malkin/Belien/Atlas crowd -- not to mention Pajamas Media, most of whose regular contributors are now far to the right of where Charles Johnson currently finds himself. In fact, Crazy Pammy was an LGF regular before she started her own blog, so in a way she is a blog-spawn of Charles Johnson.

Like Frankenstein's monster, the right-wing noise machine that he so lovingly nurtured all those years has taken on a life of its own and turned on its master.

Look at Charles' pushing of Carl in Jerusalem's blog for an award, despite Carl being a conspiracy theory nut and Kahanist. In fact, he had several people - respected regulars - who openly supported Kahane, as well as the Goldstein Cave of Patriarchs massacre (I suggest reading abot those if you're unfamiliar, to understand the full extent of that).

Again, I recommend searching for the hilarious ban of June_July (she condemned white supremacists and extremists and acknowledged that sadly, even a fine site like LGF has a few amongst the members; she was instantly banned by Charles since apparently LGF is 100% free of any such people, and any person who thinks otherwise has no place on his blog; this was at the preliminary stage of the whole European neofascist brouhaha, right before Charles' willful blindness was cruelly cured by a nasty dose of reality)

(of course, this site with Sphinx's Hamas apologetics and dissemination of anti-Israeli blood libels isn't any better than LGF's worst days)

Thanks. I searched using the key word "genocide" but not much popped up. I think it's going to take wading through some old LGF threads to find these types of comments.

Now that CJ is on his high horse and accusing all and sundry of racism and fascism, etc., I just want to remind people that LGF tolerated comments calling for the MASS MURDER of innocent Palestinians and Muslims for the longest time.

Isn’t that nice. Creepy Max Blumenthal’s smear job is now showing up at Yahoo News, via The Nation: The Weekly Standard’s Strange Sources.

Blumenthal can smell teh ghey all over this story, and in the course of figuring out that former TNR staffer ‘Throbert McGee’ is not heterosexual (hey, no kidding) Blumenthal smears LGF as an “overtly racist” blog.

[Not any more. The "Gay Against Sodomy and Self-Affirming Gays" was banned just a few days ago. -ed.]

It’s always been a source of wonderment to see the same people who present themselves as paragons of morality resort to the most base, vile kinds of smears—homophobia, sexism, racism, you name it, they give themselves permission to use it—at the drop of a deadline.

The word for this tactic is “libel.” And Yahoo News really ought to re-examine the policies that are allowing this kind of irresponsible, ugly writing to appear on their service.

(But they won’t.)

UPDATE at 8/3/07 6:00:20 pm:

According to Zombie’s dictionary:

racist - A statement of surrender during an argument. When two people or disputants are engaged in an acrimonious debate, the side that first says “Racist!” has conceded defeat. Synonymous with saying “Resign” during a chess game, or “Uncle” during a schoolyard fight. Originally, the term was meant to indicate that one side was accusing the other of being racist, but once it was noticed that people only resorted to this tactic when all other arguments had been exhausted, it acquired its new meaning of “indicating one’s own concession of defeat.”

Speaking of zombie, how long till he/she/it breaks with LGF as well? Zombie's main concerns these days are "exposing" Obama-administration propaganda and brainwashing efforts, unveiling the sinister pasts of certain Obama administration officials, downplaying death threats against Obama, and -- that old standby of sweaty, desperate wingnuts everywhere -- playing the "Marxism" card at every opportunity.

None of these is exactly consistent with the current Johnsonian Weltanschauung. And we all know how well CJ suffers dissent.

======"Well, it’s official. Charles just banned you zombie. I’m feeling very conflicted right now because I used to admire you both so much. And I’m even ashamed of myself: look at my user name. I’m forced to use “Anonymous LGFer” because if I used my real nick to comment here I’d be banned at LGF too. By not naming myself, I’m choosing to take sides (that is, choosing to remain at LGF), which makes me sad. Why do I have to choose?

My head is spinning. I never, ever thought it would come to this. No, not zombie. Why? Why?????

I need to step away from the computer because I am feeling literally sick to my stomach. I am being torn in half. I’ve scanned this thread and zombie seems blameless. Irish Rose lied to us.

At this stage I just don’t know what to think. It’s the end of an era."======
